Done. See:
* /userroot/hstehr/public_html/pdbwiki/mediawiki-1.15

svn update
At revision 53924.


Issuing svn update in this branch will take us up the minor versions
(1.15.1/2/3/etc). To switch major versions we need to issue 'svn
switch':

Note: because the above 'co' expects an empty extensions directory, it
is important that you check out extensions within a sub-directory of
the extensions directory. i.e.

cd extensions/
cd ImgRollover/

svn update

cd ../../


This way the .svn information under:
* /userroot/hstehr/public_html/pdbwiki/mediawiki-1.15/extensions

is not changed (which would cause a conflict between the different
repos). It's slightly confusing, but so long as you follow the above
rule, everything 'just works'.


So... Does this actually fix the category problem? ;-)

Done. See:
* /userroot/hstehr/public_html/pdbwiki/dumpDb.sh
* /userroot/hstehr/public_html/pdbwiki/database_dumps

$ crontab -l # (as dmb)
15 06 * * 3 /memberroot/hstehr/public_html/pdbwiki/dumpDb.sh


I also made a one off backup of the files themselves (excluding the
image directory):

tar cf pdbwiki_dump-2009.07.28.tar \
  --exclude "mediawiki-1.14.0/images/*" mediawiki-1.14.0/
